Anyone using scripts to backup Cisco WLCs?
A Google search indicated that back in 2012 there was some interest in
using RANCID to back up Cisco WLCs, and am wondering if anyone is
currently doing that?

If so, could someone point me in the direction of the scripts/mods?

Thanks!

I'm doing it, no scripts needed, I didn't even have to customize anything.

In router.db
10.10.10.10;cisco-wlc8;up

This is rancid.types.base: rancid 3.12
cisco-wlc8;script;rancid -t cisco-wlc8
cisco-wlc8;login;wlogin
cisco-wlc8;timeout;120
cisco-wlc8;module;ciscowlc
cisco-wlc8;inloop;ciscowlc::inloop
cisco-wlc8;command;ciscowlc::ShowUdi;show udi
cisco-wlc8;command;ciscowlc::ShowSysinfo;show sysinfo
cisco-wlc8;command;ciscowlc::ShowConfig;show run-config commands

Thanks to everyone who replied!

Using the "cisco-wlc8" device-type in router.db works great for my v8
Cisco WLCs!
(I did need to add the "add noenable <router name fqdn> 1" line to the
.cloginrc to get the login to process correctly.)

No problem?I saw that reply and realized that things had improved since back then. We replaced our Cisco wireless with Aruba, so I haven?t kept up with rancid support for the former. Glad you found a solution.
